From the exterior the farmhouse looks largely unchanged, but once you walk through the doors you can see just how much work has been done. The contemporary farmhouse has a generously sized central area with 10m high antique ceilings, which have the original bricks still visible. Other original features are the terracotta floor tiles that are in a traditional herringbone pattern.

The mix of old and new brings life to this contemporary farmhouse. A sweeping, curved modern staircase now adorns the hallway of the house where natural light is abundant. Period furniture and contemporary art can be seen in each room, giving the house a comfortable feel. This contemporary farmhouse has character and style; with many original features playing a large part in how each room functions. Everything from the modern stainless steel kitchen to the colorful rugs on the floors has been carefully selected to enhance the house.
